Flowers and Benches at LMR Park

Flowers and Benches at the Luis Munoz Rivera Park in Old San Juan, Puerta de Tierra to be more exact. I love these quaint benches right in the heart of the park, which force me to get out of my car and venture in though I was having a solo Silver Hair Adventure. Well, it was actually me and my camera. The bench is supposed to resemble branches that are intertwining themselves into a bench. What could not be simulated is the beautiful vines that naturally have formed a canapy above the bench. The fragrance is not noticed until later in the evening, when it must not only be a beautiful sight but a treat for all the senses. So if you want a romantic stroll this might be the place to go.

About Me

About me? I live in Carolina, Puerto Rico. I recently moved back to the island to the surprise of many people. I almost feel like a salmon swimming upstream against that huge current of people migrating to the mainland. About what I care about-- well I love my family, I love people, love beauty, especially in nature. In fact, that is why I started this blog to share things I liked with my family. I take tons of pictures. This blog includes many of the them, especially to document what I paint and where I travel.
Simply put, I am a person on a journey like all of us, hoping to make everyday better, hopeful to be kinder to others and to live out my faith in God. Psalm 19, embodies it. Enjoy my blog!
Creo que debo decir algo en español. Soy puertorriqueña, nacida en el Viejo San Juan y me fui a vivir a los Estados Unidos a los cinco años. Unos de mis mas atesorados recuerdos era de las aceras anchas del Parque Luis Muñoz Rivera y sus lindas plantas. Un jardin. Que curioso verdad? Amo a mi Puerto Rico y voy y vengo a menudo, lo suficiente para siempre poder guiar por sus calles, sus montes, pasear por sus playas, y mi querido Naranjito. Los quiero mucho!
